Grey Seal (Live Madison Square Garden, NY 1974) Lyrics

Why's it never light on my lawn?
Why does it rain and never say good day to the new dawn?
On the big screen they showed us a sun
But not as bright in life as the real one
It's never quite the same as the real one

Tell me grey seal
How does it feel to be so wise
To see through eyes
That only see what's real?
Tell me grey seal

I never learned why meteors were formed
I only farmed in schools that were so worn and torn
I was reborn before all life could die
I read books and draw life from the eye
All my life is drawings from the eye

Tell me grey seal
How does it feel to be so wise
To see through eyes that only see what's real?
Tell me grey seal

Your mission bells were wrought by ancient men
The roots were formed by twisted roots
Your roots were twisted then
If anyone can cry then so can I
The Phoenix bird will leave this world to fly
If the Phoenix bird can fly then so can I

Tell me grey seal
How does it feel to be so wise
To see through eyes that only see what's real?
Tell me grey seal
Come on now, let's just, hey

Tell me grey seal
How does it feel?
Tell me grey seal
How does it feel?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We're gonna do one of my favourite songs
We've written, it say "out of breathly"
Let's see how it goes
